It's exactly the same like Bug 232719 Everytime I try to compile gtk+- the system completely freezes Cant do an emerge --info right now Im using i868
Generally, somethings like this is due to a kernel or hardware problem. Do you recall anything in particular that changed just before you started experiencing this problem?
why cant you do `emerge --info` ? if you can do `emerge gtk+`, you can do `emerge --info` in a different terminal, you should run like `watch -n 1 free` and in another `top -d 1` to monitor process state you also need to describe your system in general
